APRIL 26th – MAY 2nd

WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes, I hope my words find you well.

Well, it’s been a while since we’ve sent out our weekly version of The Forwardian Gazette. In fact, we published the April 2019 edition of our magazine a bit late as well. It won’t be long before the May issue will be coming out. This all indicates the April has been a busy month which left little time for preparing and sending out our publications. Of course, our tendency to procrastinate and being lazy has nothing to do with the delays.

There are lots of things going on this week as the celebrations of Earth Day unites Artists, Environmentalist, and all those who seek to improve the health of this planet in a combined endeavor to implement some meaningful thoughts on the matter. We hope to be at as many of these events as we can so we may share them with those who are unable to attend. Yet, we hope to see you there as well.

LET’S SHARE SOME MEMORIES. Of Rehearsals and Performances for the PMCC

Art and Ice Cream. Oooo Llama. Oooo Llama.

On the Forwardian front, we held our get together to explore the possibilities our fellowship can explore as we participate in the arts at The Renegade Winery in Stroudsburg, PA on Thursday March 14th and came up with a number of possibilities to explore. One is a book signing event for digital books and another is to form a club with music and poetry reminiscent of those existing during the Beat era.

We’re looking forward to playing with these ideas and learning what we can do to make them happen. We hope you’ll play with us. Let’s Art. Well, that’s all from me for now. How are you? Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this publication, The Forwardian Arts Society, or anything at all. I promise to tell you everything. I would make a terrible spy.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and I'll keep a good thought for you until then.

Going Forwardian with you Paul Adam Smeltz The Forwardian Arts Society
